This vividly colored rooster, with iridescent green breast and tail feathers and bright orange and red plumage, stands tall on a wooden post. His iridescent green feathers remind me of a finely tailored waistcoat; cocky and confident, he evokes a French prince from a bygone era. The breast and tail feathers are accented with metallic paints to give that iridescent shimmer. Part of a series of two, I used the same soft green background to keep them cohesive. Acrylic on canvas in a rust-gold floater frame. Framed size: 21″ × 21″.
